Training for 1.5 mile run
ok so ive been running for a week now and im trying to find a way to run a 8 minute mile, maybe 8:30-9min mile roughly. im on a treadmill at a 3.0 incline (i used an incline because a treadmill can push u as u run, i figure the incline can even things out just like running on a track). i know ive got a longgggg way to go…

The right amount of cardio for a man?

Im thinking of taking another step down to maybe 45 minutes instead of 60, and work more on the exercise…
